A Dialogue Between Feminine Wisdom And Masculine Uncertainty
(Supermegacorporation)
Geoff Soule, the (probably) self-proclaimed CEO of Supermegacorporation is best known as a member of San Francisco pop-darlings Fuck . Surprisingly, I once heard the band on the radio. Unsurprisingly, it was on John Peel.
This album is lo-fi in extremis, and all the better for it. Like many of the best albums, it grows on you. On the first play, this minimalist, improv-featuring record is hard to get into. I thought this was heading for a rather blunt review. But on repeated plays I became so intrigued that it started to make sense, and reveal it’s secrets. This is a rather beautiful album that pulls you in bit by bit. Titles like ‘Improv no.9′ and ‘A dirge’ may seem guaranteed to put off people - more fool them. Minimalism and Improv may scare some people, but - and I mean this as a compliment, this is a really good place to start for people who want to investigate the more adventurous recordings out there.
Will this storm the charts? As it’s released in a limited edition of 500, probably not in the UK. But this serves as a reminder that below the radar is where the most adventurous, genuinely alternative and most rewarding music is being made.
